Oh for piss sake 
You'd think cops in Colorado would have better things to worry about than some road rager taking 1 minute longer to reach their destination.

I missed that thread.
It'll be interesting to see if going after the one of the sources of road rage will be more effective than trying to supress the symptoms.

I think by ticketing the left lane loafer, they're reducing the incidents of road rage. There are reasons road rage exists. This is one of them.

I agree and am amazed at the amount of left lane loafers that can't take a hint when they see cars whizzing around them and then having to pass on the right at twice the rate of speed.
I was cussing someone out for this one day, calling them every name in the book, started tailgating, etc... I'd had it !!! I was yelling and ranting about it and calling the guy in front an fcuking idiot, was venting full force to my friend in the car. Come to find out as I finally got a chance to pass the azzhole, turned out it was my friend's uncle that was in the car and they waived at each other and everything
I felt terrible 
Now I just keep my comments to myself if there's others in the car.
I get behind laggards all the time and I don't have road rage. People rage because they have anger management issues and other drivers are a handy target.elaine said:
I'm sitting at a corner the other day waiting for some kid to cross the street in front of me. This nut behind me starts honking and yelling, like I should run the kid over or something. After the kid passed, I took my sweet time getting started again - la de dah de dah.....
He probably went home and beat his wife.
You should think about counseling.dems4me said:

Exactly. So why antagonize someone with anger management issues who's driving a giant weapon? I don't have a problem with slow drivers, but when you're talking about 10-20 mph under the limit and blocking the passing lane, that's just stupidity and those people have no more business behind the wheel than the guy that's on his way home to beat his wife.

j/k
Because I'm not the type of person who lets bullies intimidate me. Actually, I was kind of hoping the guy would get out of his car and approach me.elaine said:
I agree. BUT many times I'll switch to the left lane when I'm approaching an on-ramp so the cars trying to get on the highway can access easier. If there is a series on on-ramps, I'll stay in the left lane until I'm past them. Since I typically drive the speed limit (maybe 5 miles over), the speed demons behind me get irritated and make rude gestures. I have to restrain myself from slowing down.elaine said:
Just to put it all in perspective:
If you have a 20 mile drive and the speed limit is 60, it will take you 20 minutes to get there if you consistently drive the speed limit. If you drop down to 40mph, it will take you 30 minutes to reach your destination. Now, 10 minutes might mean a lot to some people but, to me, it's hardly worth getting upset about.

Unless you can't get over. You do have the right of way, that's why the traffic coming onto the highway has the merge sign instead of you. I do that, too. Then when it's clear, I move back to the right lane. That's being a courteous driver. Driving in the right lane and passing in the left lane is also courteous.
Do you think I should get Otter professional help. :shrug:

Really? Mind telling that to all the folks using 235 between the base and Rte 4? All lanes are used full-time as rights of way. The only passing lanes I know of are the far right lane, and any lane with an opening big enough to accommodate passing. North or south of the area I'm referring to, the passing lane is apparently the shoulder.elaine said:
Let's explore this. Why does someone driving slow in the hammer lane upset you so much and ruin your day?Mikeinsmd said:
YES! Oh...wait...are you talking about his driving?cattitude said:
